Psalms 56:4-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 56
4In God, whose word I praise, In God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? 5All day long they distort my words; All their thoughts are against me for evil. 6They attack, they lurk, They watch my steps, As they have waited to take my life. 7Because of their wickedness, will there be an escape for them? In anger make the peoples fall down, God! 8You have taken account of my miseries; Put my tears in Your bottle. Are they not in Your book? 9Then my enemies will turn back on the day when I call; This I know, that God is for me. 10In God, whose word I praise, In the Lord, whose word I praise, 11In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid. What can mankind do to me?King James Version

Chapter 56
4In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? 5They twist my words all day long; all their thoughts against me are evil. 6They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.
7Will they escape in spite of such sin? God, bring down the nations in wrath.
8You yourself have recorded my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?

Chapter 56
4In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can flesh do to me? 5All day long they injure my cause; all their thoughts are against me for evil. 6They stir up strife, they lurk; they watch my steps, as they have waited for my life. 7For their crime will they escape? In wrath cast down the peoples, O God! 8You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? 9Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. 10In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, 11in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?New International Version
Chapter 56
4In God, whose word I praise— in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? 5All day long they twist my words; all their schemes are for my ruin. 6They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps, hoping to take my life.
7Because of their wickedness do not let them escape; in your anger, God, bring the nations down.
8Record my misery; list my tears on your scroll — are they not in your record?
